SH: What is the story behind the "ONE MORE TIME" music video? Does the group have any favorite moments from the shoot?
Youjoung: The music video portrays our story. There is a part where we stand in a line, then disperse and gather again. It's a similar situation to when our members were separated and reunited.
My favorite moment from the shoot was the catering. The food and snacks were absolutely phenomenal, and the members and our staff enjoyed everything very much.
